Volume 1: The Growth of the King of Soldiers Chapter 166: The Heights

Night raids have always been the strong point of the Chinese army, from the founding war to the C fresh war, the dark night is the home of the people's army.

The trail is winding and winding, and due to the lack of vegetation, the view from Plateau 23 can reach its maximum during the day. At night, due to the high altitude, the moonlight appeared particularly bright, and the combination of various reasons made it much more difficult for the reconnaissance battalion to attack at night.

After three days of high-altitude drone reconnaissance, it has basically been determined that the No. 23 Heights are arranged into three main positions, arranged in a zigzag pattern, and the opponent's strength is at least two companies or more.

Judging by the type of position, the first two machine-gun mortar positions are at each other's horns, which can form crossfire. And on the main position in the middle and back was a circular anti-tank artillery position.

According to the previous operational concept, such a single position did not require the dispatch of a battalion of troops to carry out a long-distance night attack. Today's rocket range extender can carry out accurate fire coverage at a distance of 20 kilometers when the drone has already marked the location. But this is only a forward position, and Zhang Zhijun obviously does not want to waste these three opportunities.

Of course, the purpose of this exercise is more about people. Therefore, there is a limit to the number of times that some high-precision and cutting-edge weapons can be used.

At two o'clock in the morning, all members of the reconnaissance battalion abandoned their heavy equipment and arrived less than 20 kilometers away from the enemy's position under the carrier of more than 60 Bobcat all-terrain vehicles.

Out of this mountain range is an open area with no obstruction, and at the end of the view is Plateau 23. If you go out rashly like this at this time, you will definitely be discovered in advance.

"The moonlight on this plateau is too bright, and the movement of so many cars at the same time is too great. I'm afraid I'll be found before I get there. ”

At this time, the battalion commander Song Hang had already ordered all the staff to stop first. Such an unfavorable external environment was also unexpected.

"Battalion commander, time waits for no one, it's already two o'clock now, if we don't decide that this day will only get brighter and brighter, we are now alone, whether we can stand still depends on capturing the enemy's position, and then using their little guys. ”

The commander of the second company reminded Song Hang not to know that unless all the staff dispersed and advanced on foot now, they would abandon this all-terrain vehicle. But if this is the case, it will be a waste of nearly an hour of marching time, and when the time comes, plus the need to capture the high ground and arrange defenses, I am afraid that the sky will already be bright. This was too dangerous for the anti-aircraft company that was coming from behind.

The original plan was to arrive at the designated position at half past two in the morning and launch an attack on Heights 23. The battle must be ended within an hour, and then the anti-aircraft company with an hour's time difference will be stationed, and by the time the sun rises, the enemy's forward position will be turned into a bridgehead on its side.

It's a bold plan, and it's a very risky one. Once the attack is blocked, then after dawn the entire reconnaissance battalion and the air defense company behind it will be surrounded by the enemy's reinforcements, and then it will be destroyed without the support of the position.

"Battalion commander, I have a way to do it, but it's too risky. ”

Tie Kang, the commander of the first company, suddenly spoke, and before time waited, he hurriedly said:

"The problem now is how to build an effective defense when the enemy can't react.

Now riding in a vehicle is obviously too big to be considered. But the time required to hike cannot be changed, so the time can only be squeezed out for attack. Our original plan was to concentrate superior forces to break through the enemy's positions one by one. But what if we attack at the same time?"

"No, the forces are too scattered, and if you don't get it right, you'll be completely stuffed. You must know that according to intelligence, the opponent's forces are not much weaker than ours. ”

The battalion commander's concerns were echoed by the commissar present and the other two company commanders. Before Tie Kang finished speaking, he was soon unanimously opposed by everyone.

"Battalion commander, look!"

Tie Kang spread out the map in his hand and explained:

"We had a total of 60 Bobcats, leaving 30 people behind. The rest of the men divided into two groups on foot and went around the position on the left and under the main position behind. At the same time, let the people who stayed behind drive the Bobcat straight to the right position and make a strong attack.

At this time, the enemy's three positions will definitely be attracted by the 30 three cats rushing from afar. And launching a sneak attack at this time will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. When the main position and the left position are captured, it is not easy to concentrate forces and pick up what is left.

But the difficulty with this method is that we have to get close enough, and the timing has to be right. The sudden appearance of the bobcat will only attract the attention of the other party for a short time, and when they see clearly that there are only people driving on it, they will definitely react, and then it will be us who will turn around and be exposed to the fire. ”

After such an explanation, Song Hang decisively decided to follow this. Time waits for no one, and when it is interrupted, it is constantly chaotic......

At the same point in time, the temporary command of the 199th Brigade ushered in five young people who were in the dust.

Since Zhang Zhijun launched an attack ahead of schedule, this also heralded the start of the second phase of the exercise. Coupled with the constant urging of the knife and the veterinarian, Yang Buxing came from Lan City two days in advance.

"Yang is not hungry, you stinky boy has changed the shotgun! How long has it been since he went to the wolf's tooth, and he has become the captain. This is going back to my parents' house, do you need to ask the cooking team to give you a few bowls of sweet rice balls to eat?"

The people present watched the brigade commander pat the shoulder of the young man in front of him vigorously, but they didn't expect that his old man would actually joke.

Originally, I wondered why these guys with mountaineering bags could swagger in the headquarters, and they dared to love that these people were all well-known "wolf teeth".

"It's just like an ordinary soldier, it's no different. ”

That's what most people think at this point. The main reason is that a few people are too young, especially at this time, this captain is really handsome, no matter how you look at the age, he doesn't look more than twenty-three. Especially the few female soldiers present at this time, their eyes have to be straightened.

"Brigade commander, don't laugh, we're here to get equipment, we'll leave later. ”

Zhang Zhijun doesn't talk much nonsense, after all, this is in wartime. Yang Buyu didn't know what specific tasks the team was going to perform, and he only explained that he wanted to share all the information with him.

"The entire reconnaissance battalion has already gone up, and the time should have been connected by this time. Where are you going next?"

In fact, Zhang Zhijun very much hoped that Yang Buxing's team could listen to him in this exercise. He knew very well how much of a small detachment of Wolffangs could make a difference at a critical moment. However, there was an order from above that this team was not under his command, otherwise the operation of the reconnaissance battalion would be much more certain.

"Go to Na Wrong County. ”

Yang's answer was obviously somewhat surprising, as it was now being occupied by the enemy.

"Could it be that the people of the wolf teeth are so powerful, this is as simple as eating and drinking water in Huanglong. ”

Those who had such thoughts were in the majority. Even Zhang Zhijun thinks that such a move will not be taken for granted.

"Decapitation is very difficult to accomplish without clear intelligence. ”

Zhang Zhijun frowned and reminded at the right time.

"Decapitation? no, no, no, we're just going to ...... for tourism."

Yang was not hungry, shook his head, and pointed to the mountaineering bag on his back......

............ Cut............

Beneath the darkness of the night lurked many black eyes. Behind the rocks in the moonlight, the shadows are the best weapon against the light.

Since the plan was proposed by Tie Kang, of course, the task of attacking the main position must be handed over to him to lead the company.

The surroundings, which had been quiet all night, began to hear a strange rumbling sound from a distance. Such sounds are usually only seen when the armored cluster is driving in.

"Enemy attack from the northeast...... Flares fired in three bursts...... Hurry up ......"

A warning sound came from overhead, accompanied by the lifting of flares. All people's attention is drawn to the distance. The machine guns and artillery on the position were all in the right direction, and they were ready to rain bullets on the menacing armored group.

As a forward position, the ammunition supply logistics department in the past three days has been distributed in full amount, and the small warehouse in the underground bunker is now full, just to wait for this moment to come.

"Cheer me up, everyone! Don't save me ammunition, let them taste what the enthusiasm of the Western Theater is......

Listening to the pre-war mobilization above, the two already captured secret sentinels below the 23rd Heights squatted on the side, only with a wry smile on their faces.

Tie Kang was waiting for this moment, at this time the enemy army was attracted by the enemy army that suddenly appeared in the distance, and he couldn't notice the surroundings for a while.

Hearing a rapid whistle, Song Hang, the battalion commander hidden in the left position, ordered all the men to get up and rush up.

The slope of less than two hundred meters was only a dozen seconds for these scouts to set foot on High Ground 23.

In the distance, it was already possible to see the figure facing away from the machine-gun position. It wasn't until Tie Kang took the lead in rushing down the trench that the other party found that there were already enemy troops around him. Shooting at the people below from the trench is easier than hitting a fixed target.

The main position here was mainly set up with anti-tank guns, and two heavy machine guns were set up at the front and rear ends as necessary protection, but no decent heavy firepower was seen. One of the two machine guns was still facing a feint from a distance, while the other reacted and tried to fight back, but before he could fire a base bullet before the sniper could dismiss it. The attack went unexpectedly well, and a company of soldiers led by Tie Kang managed to take the main position at the cost of three "killed", and everything was basically intact.

On the other side, Song Hang, the battalion commander of Song Hang, was not so relaxed. The position on the left of itself is used as a firepower output to defend the main position. There are more than 10 machine gun emplacements here. There were also two mortar positions and an unknown number of snipers.

Although the opponent was attracted by the movement in the distance at the same time, it was impossible for the fire of the ring fortifications to be tilted to one side. So the soldiers of this reconnaissance battalion were spotted before they could get closer.

Fortunately, he had the intention of taking the lead, and under the lead of the second company commander, he successfully won a machine gun position.

With this machine-gun bunker to rely on, mortar shells fired from below the heights covered the entire ring of positions and suppressed most of the enemy troops. The soldiers who then rushed up were able to go into cover after a round of artillery bombardment, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat between the trenches.

At this point, the No. 23 highland zigzag position has taken up the second, and the last one can be captured in an instant......
